QuestionAnswer
Testing for astigmatism detects defects in the refracting surface of what two structures of the eye? cornea, lens
what is accommodation? helps to focus light on the retina. occurs by changing of thelens initiated by ciliary muscles contraction
color blindness tests for deficiencies in what photoreceptors cones
inner coat of the eye, lines the posterior 3/4 of the eyeball, primary functin is image formation which contains pigmented layer and neural layer, photoreceptors retina
yellow spot, concentrated area of cones macula lutea
small depression in maculea lutea contains only cones, site of sharpest vision fovea
tough fibrous opaque, white portion of the eyeprovides protection for delicate internal portions of the eye and optic nerve sclera
in the anterior, convex, transparent window or the eye,bends light rays as they pass thru contains free nerve endings cornea
the colored portion of the eye that contains the amount of light entering the eye by the size of the pupil.two layers of smooth muscles called pupillary muscles iris
is the opening in the center of the iris that allows light to pass into the eyeavtonomic reflexcircular muscle fibers contract in bright light to shrink pupilradial muscles fibers contract in dim light to enlarge pupil pupil
pigmented epithelial cells(melanocytes) and blood vesselsprovides nutrients to retinablack pigment absorbs scattered light rays choroid
folds on ciliary body secrets aqueous humor ciliary body
composed of multiple layers of crystallin transparent lack blood vessels lens help focus light rays on the retina light is refracted as it passes through lens lens
why does the blind spot exist because this region lacks photoreceptors
if someone has 20/20 vision what type of vision do they have distance in feet from which a person can reliably distinguish a pair of objects. The denominator is the distance from which an 'average' person would be able to distinguish
normal vision emmetropia
near sighted myopia
far sighted hyperopia
presbyopia is a health condition where the eye exhibits a progressively diminished ability to focus on near objects with age
elastic cartlidge covered with epithelial tissue auricle/pinna
epithelial lined /acoustic external auditory canal
lines external canal , makes earwax ceruminous glands
connects to pharynex)middle ear infections auditory (eustachian) tube
bridge connection, three timy bones forming a lever system between the tympanic membran and the inner ear,vibrations fromt he tympanic membrane pass from malleus to the incus to the stapes auditory ossciles
makes fluid waves, stapes vibrates of the inner ear oval window
waves exit round window
contains the utricle and saccule which conveys information about static equilebrium, your position with respect to gravity and sudden acceleration saccule and utricle
the organ of static equilibrium;inside the utricle and the saccule; contains thousands of hair cells the macula
what is olfaction adaptation you adapt less stimuli to a chronic odorant that doesnt change
olfactory receptor cells;basel cells; supporting cells olfactory epithelium
olfactory nerve cranial nerve I
40 slender chemoreceptors called; also called taste buds; extend taste hairs through a narrow taste pore; chemical from food binds; depolarizes nerve fibers; results in action potientaltravels to the brain gustatory cells
located in the epithelial projections are lingual papillae
four basic taste sweet, salty, bitter, sour
what is the compostition of blood two components: -blood plasma(55%); liquid component consisting of 92% water and 8% solutes-formed elements(45%) solids*red blood cells* white blood cells*platelets
what are the plasma protiens albuminglobulinsfibrinogenregularory protiens92% water
converted to fibrin during clotting; soluble protien in blood; removal of this leaves serum fibrinogen
most abundent plasma protein; globular protein. major contributor to osmotic pressure inthe plasma; important in the transport of fatty acids, thyroid hormones and some steroid hormones albumin
35% of plasma proteins, include immunoglobins(antibodies) which attack foreign proteins and pathogens, include transport globulins which bind ions, hormones and other components globulins
accounts for slightly less than half of the blood volume, and 99.9% of the formed elements-contains the oxygen carrying protein hemoglobulin-pigment five it red color;bioconcave discs,lack nuclei and othe organells, membrane contains glycolipids, 120 days Red blood cells(erythrocytes)
first phagocyte at site of infection, release leukotrines Neutrophiles
phagocytes attracted for foreign compounds that have reacted with antibodies eosinophils
migrate to damaged tissue and release histamine and heprin basophils
enters peripheral tissue and becomes a macrophage monocyte
migrate back and forth between bloodstream and tissue and populate the lymphatic system; include t cells, B cells and NK cells lymphocytes
disc shaped elements without nuclei, they are not true cells, circulate 9-12 days before being removed ny phagocytes, help stop blood loss from damaged blood vessels by forming a plug platelet
lower than normal Calcium levels anemia
abnormally high percentage of RBC, may be 65% or higher polycythemia
normal hematocrit for femal 38-46%
normal hematocrit for male 40-54%
what the normal WBC count 4000 to 11,000
is a raised white blood cell count above the normal range leukocytosis
is a decrease in the number of white blood cells found in the blood, which places individuals at increased risk of infection. leukopenia
what is the purpose of hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen throughout the body
normal time for coagulation 3-6 min
what blood formed element is essential for clotting platelets
what is fibrin a fibrous protein involved in the clotting of blood, and is non-globular.
what antigen is on the surface of the RBC of a person with A? what antibodies would be present in their blood? B
what antigen is on the surface of the RBC of a person with B? what antibodies would be present in their blood? A
what antigen is on the surface of the RBC of a person with AB?what antibodies would be present in their blood? O
what antigen os on the surface of the RBC of a person with O? what antibodies would be present in their blood? A and B
Does Rh- individual have antigens on the surface of their RBC? Does and Rh+ individual have antigens on the surface of their RBC/ Rh- is a noRh+ is a yes
does and individual carry performed antibodies for Rh antigen no
